Street Fighter (film)/Awesome

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • While the Street Fighter live-action movie is generally agreed to suck (some say in a good way), one scene cements Raul Julia's portrayal of Bison as the best thing about it. Chun-Li confronts him about his killing of her father, and Bison admits he can't remember it:

Chun-Li: My father saved his village at the cost of his own life. You had him shot as you ran away. A hero, at a thousand paces.
Bison: I'm sorry...I don't remember any of it.
Chun-Li: You don't remember?
Bison: For you, the day Bison graced your village was the most important day of your life. But for me, it was Tuesday.

    • Incidentally, the exact 50/50 mix of Moment of Awesome and unintentionally hilarious is Guile's broken-English inspiration speech.
  • And of course, there's Guile's "We can all go home" speech".
  • Here is a genuine one, after Bison is revived and blasts Guile with lightning.

Guile: What happened to the purity of unarmed combat?
Bison: This is merely Superconductor Electromagnetism. Surely you've heard of it. It levitates bullet trains from Tokyo to Osaka. It levitates my desk, from which I ride the saddle of the world. And it levitates...me.

Bison: For I beheld SATAN as he FELL FROM HEAVEN! LIKE LIGHTNIIIIIIIIIIIIIING!!!
